Workplace Setting

As noted in the 2017 Horizon Report on Higher Education, it is no longer enough to simply graduate with a degree in a particular discipline; the Hart Research Associates Report also emphasizes the point that employers are requesting that colleges and universities place more emphasis on practical and real-world skills rather than focusing on competencies in broader disciplinary theories that may never be applied practically in the daily workplace setting. In this chapter, the authors look at two specific examples: preservice teacher training and the training of graduate students in epidemiology (STEM). The purpose of this qualitative analysis is to examine and compare the literature related to two primary concepts: (1) access to technology and digital literacy of minority college students and (2) minority serving institution (MSI) response to promoting digital literacy among faculty and students enrolled in clinically based programs.

Many higher education institutions have used Internet technology to develop virtual education for a new generation of college students. In this research, the authors assessed the relative effectiveness of two technology-mediated learning environments for synchronous higher education compared to a traditional face-to-face learning environment. Specifically, they assessed the effects of these three learning environments on interactivity, perceived learning, and satisfaction when different instructional strategies were used. The authors' findings suggest that learning environments interact with instructional strategies to affect the learners' perception of learning and satisfaction. Their findings also support the proposition that the new generation of college students prefer to interact with others using technology.

Anchor Institutions

Members of the Coalition of Urban and Metropolitan Universities (CUMU) recognized nearly thirty years ago that institutions of higher education (IHEs) located in urban and metropolitan cities faced a unique set of challenges – but also shared exceptional opportunities – for developing and deploying the vast intellectual capital residing within their halls. They joined forces to share ideas and practices that would, among other things, integrate their colleges and universities more seamlessly and usefully with their surrounding communities. Over time, CUMU members realized they should play an important role as anchor institutions in their communities: “local economic engines and mission-driven organizations inextricably linked to the long-term well-being of their local communities…” (Democracy Collaborative, 2018).   CUMU’s 23rd Annual Conference was held in Denver, Colorado in October 2017 with a focus on “The Urban Advantage” (CUMU, 2017). Presentations and conversations explored 21st century challenges created by states decreasing their funding to public higher education and by gentrification of the neighborhoods surrounding CUMU IHEs. They stressed unique learning opportunities for students and faculty studying and working at urban colleges and universities: clearly, an urban setting provides more occasions for students to engage in internships, service learning, volunteering, community-based research, and other pedagogies now known to improve student persistence through to graduation and alumni chances to pursue the careers or post-baccalaureate programs of their choice (AAC&U, n.d.). Scholars and activists called for urban IHEs to consider how they might engage with their surrounding communities more effectively to solve problems, improve the local economy, and educate a professional 21st century-relevant workforce. Finally, they underscored the imperative that metropolitan colleges and universities stay true to their mission of providing the public good of education to achieve social justice, graduate civically engaged alumni, and to be both in and of the community.

Resumo: Uma nova geração de poetas, geralmente vindos de classes mais baixas e que experienciaram o acesso ao ensino superior, graças às políticas públicas dos governos petistas, entre 2003 e 2016, tem sido chamada, por Alberto Pucheu, de Geração Lula. Neste artigo buscou-se analisar um pouco da produção de alguns poetas desse grupo e entendê-los à luz do que Marcos Siscar e Celia Pedrosa concebem por poesia brasileira contemporânea. Observou-se nos poetas selecionados uma ligação com a ideia de a poesia apresentar-se em um prosaísmo narrativo, uma liberdade temática e formal que, por vezes, pode coincidir em um ambiente de coletividade.Palavras-chave: Geração Lula; poesia brasileira contemporânea; poetisas.Abstract: A new generation of poets, usually from the lower classes and who have experienced access to college education due to the public policies of PT governments, from 2003 to 2016, has been called, by Alberto Pucheu, Geração Lula.

Students with family financial difficulties, premised on the family economic situation survey, are identified as the basic work of student-funded work in China's higher education stage, which is directly related to who is eligible for financial assistance. In this paper, through questionnaire survey and data analysis, in view of the evaluation of the work methods of students with family financial difficulties in China's higher education stage, and the change in the number of applications of students before and after the policy change, the results of the implementation of the method for identifying students with family financial difficulties in the higher education stage in China were studied before the recent introduction of the government's policy for the benefit of the people. After the implementation of the new policy, the changes and causes of the wishes and behaviors of college students’ application for poor students. The study found that: 1. The way local civil affairs departments reviewed students' family financial situation in the past did not fully guarantee the accurate and reliable results provided by students about family financial situation. 2. The removal of the local civil affairs department's seal requirement, replaced it as self-reported way, in the short term, did not cause a sharp increase in the number of application of college students to be identified as students with family financial difficulties. 3. The government needs to establish a unified quantitative calculation method, through the system online application way for students to apply directly, local grass-roots government sampling survey, colleges and universities to assist in the investigation of students' consumption in school, so that make the family financial difficulties students determination work both convenient and accurate.

Teaching is changing and it is being forced to change by many forces of social change. Today’s theory and practice of teaching in adult and higher education are not only shaped by technology, but also by prevalent teaching and learning theories such as constructivism, progressive principles of education, humanism and even behaviorism. While behaviorism, a major component of pedagogical teaching, successfully dominated adult and higher education in the past, the purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate that we are experiencing a paradigm shift from being pedagogical in our instruction to an andragogical mode of education in the 21st century due to the fact that we do know, to some extent, how students learn. Therefore, the way knowledge is delivered in the new century must be changed in order to serve the needs of this learning society.

This article describes how assessment and feedback represent two key factors that affect students' learning. Using e-assessment with prompt e-feedback reduces the gap between present and desired performance and is considered to be a reflexive and dynamic system in dealing with the new generation of digital natives. Action research was used to investigate students' perception of using computer-based assessment (CBA) and/or computer-based feedback (CBF) in teaching and learning process. Both semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with 44 UG students to assess their perceptions of using CBA and CBF. Findings show that students are generally agreed on the use of and benefits of CBA and/or CBF in teaching accounting and non-accounting modules. For example, these results reveal that many participants valued working online compared to traditional assessment and appreciated the instant feedback they received. Additionally, technology can provide an avenue for assessment and personalised and comprehensive prompt feedback that diverse and digital students need in the 21st Century Higher Education.
